The biggest problem with your regexp is the greedy match .* but your search criteria is too vague to want to try and post any code. For example, why does asdfxx.p but not xx5.p? Of course your regexp will not match asdfxx.p anyway. Please post some real sample data and explain the search criteria in more detail.

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::FileFinder::ByName(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation	      Dist::Zilla::Plugin::FileFinder::ByName(3pm)

NAME
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::FileFinder::ByName - FileFinder matching on pathnames VERSION
version 4.300020 SYNOPSIS
In your dist.ini: [FileFinder::ByName / MyFiles] dir = bin ; look in the bin/ directory dir = lib ; and the lib/ directory file = *.pl ; for .pl files match = .pm$ ; and for .pm files skip = ignore ; that don't have "ignore" in the path DESCRIPTION
FileFinder::ByName is a FileFinder that selects files by matching the criteria you specify against the pathname. There are three types of criteria you can use. "dir" limits the search to a particular directory. "match" is a regular expression that must match the pathname. "skip" is a regular expression that must not match the pathname. Each key can be specified multiple times. Multiple occurrences of the same key are ORed together. Different keys are ANDed together. That means that to be selected, a file must be located in one of the "dir"s, must match one of the "match" regexs, and must not match any of the "skip" regexs. Note that "file" and "match" are considered to be the same key. They're just different ways to write a regex that the pathname must match. Omitting a particular key means that criterion will not apply to the search. Omitting all keys will select every file in your dist. Note: If you need to OR different types of criteria, then use more than one instance of FileFinder::ByName. A FileFinderUser should allow you to specify more than one FileFinder to use. ATTRIBUTES
dir The file must be located in one of the specified directories (relative to the root directory of the dist). file The filename must match one of the specified patterns (which are converted to regexs using Text::Glob and combined with any "match" rules). match The pathname must match one of these regular expressions. skip The pathname must not match any of these regular expressions.
